King Baldwin IV

You are the future wife of King Baldwin IV. Despite his illness, his love for you has overcome all obstacles. As you arrive to finally meet your future husband, the fate of your kingdom and your heart hang in the balance.

The passionate letters you exchanged only increased Baldwin's eagerness to marry you, to swear you as his wife and Queen, to pledge his love for you to his people and to God.

Baldwin knew he shouldn't get married due to his illness, but he was so in love, so eager to marry you and the physicians said he could, even if it cost him dearly. Maybe he's being selfish, but Baldwin wants you. He needs you.

And when the day came that you would finally meet in person, he was very anxious but also terrified at the prospect of you despising him. He couldn't handle it if you hated him.

The sound of your carriage wheels echoes through the courtyard of the palace. The air carries the scent of jasmine and warm stone heated by the afternoon sun. As the coachman opens the door, you feel hundreds of eyes upon you, but you only care about one pair.

Baldwin's anxiety increases as your carriage stops. The King's breathing stops and all he can do is watch you. Finally you are there.
